Glückskatze

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Our pretty Lucky Cat truly deserves her name! She came to us as a tiny, injured bundle of misery and it was unclear if she would survive, let alone if she would retain any lasting damage. But the little one has several lives left and is completely recovered. You can't tell from her appearance or behavior that she's had such a rough start. She's absolutely fun-loving and full of life! Lucky Cat romps through the room and plays with the other cats as if nothing ever happened. She also adores people and loves to be petted. Since she's so social, we only place her with similarly aged feline friends who still want to play. Given her energy, we suspect she'll be happier with outdoor access. In a purely indoor setting, you'd need to provide her with many scratching posts and catwalks. Then send us an email with information and photos about the cat's future living situation or leave a message on our answering machine. We'd be happy to schedule an appointment and show you our cats, as well as possible setup options. In a personal conversation, we'll discuss your needs and the needs of the individual animal and find the best possible human-cat match with you.

Unsere hübsche Glückskatze hat ihren Namen wirklich verdient! Sie kam als verunfalltes Häuflein Elend zu uns und es war auch nicht klar, ob sie es überleben wird, geschweige denn, ob sie bleibende Schäden zurückbehalten wird. Aber die Kleine wird noch einige Leben übriggehabt haben und ist völlig genesen. Man kann ihr weder etwas ansehen, noch im Verhalten anmerken. Sie ist absolut lustig und lebensfroh! Glückskatze tollt durch das Zimmer und spielt mit den anderen Katzen, als wäre nie etwas gewesen. Auch Menschen findet sie super und lässt sich gerne streicheln. Da sie so sozial ist, vermitteln wir sie nur zu Artgenossen in ähnlichem Alter, die noch Lust auf spielen haben. Aufgrund ihrer Energie vermuten wir, dass sie eher mit Freigang glücklich wird. In reiner Wohnungshaltung müsste man ihr viele Kratzbäume und CatWalks bieten. Dann schick uns gerne eine E-Mail mit Informationen und Fotos über die zukünftige Haltung der Katze oder hinterlasse eine Nachricht auf unserem Anrufbeantworter. Wir vereinbaren sehr gerne einen Termin und zeigen dir unsere Katzen, sowie mögliche Einrichtungsvarianten. Im persönlichen Gespräch gehen wir individuell auf dich und die Bedürfnisse des einzelnen Tieres ein und suchen die bestmögliche Mensch-Katzen-Konstellation mit dir aus.

About Glückskatze

What life with Glückskatze looks like

Glückskatze is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. in Minden.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Glückskatze, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Glückskatze?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Glückskatze on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Glückskatze if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Glückskatze already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Glückskatze isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Minden e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Glückskatze and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
